All open source projects helping each other, and Macs
"Really, first up is to break the IE monopoly which is a big
factor in maintaining the Windows monopoly"

Which is why the open source Firefox (including the
windows version) is important to all users, get the MS
trained developers to program to standards. Firefox is good
for Safari users, and vice-versa (oh and Opera users, and
...).

Apple has gained much from FreeBSD, and FreeBSD from
Apple, and IBM PowerPPC platform from Apple's
contributions for gcc (as Apple has from the GNU project).

It's fun writing software for a PPC embedded MPEG
decoder/processor from a x86 Linux box, have it boot up
diskless getting its linux image from my PowerMac.

Gee I can think of only one major IT player not contributing
anything, even for their users;-)

Well done Apple!
